Teachers make a difference every day. They inspire, support and encourage young people, often while managing demanding schedules, emotional challenges and high expectations. Yet meaningful recognition and appreciation can sometimes be overlooked in everyday school life.

This category celebrates the people behind the profession and explores how small gestures, thoughtful words and genuine appreciation can make school life more positive and rewarding.

Teacher appreciation is about more than gifts. It is about recognising dedication, creating meaningful connections and reminding educators that their work matters.

Appreciation also begins with ourselves. Taking time to reflect, acknowledge personal achievements and recognise our own needs can strengthen emotional wellbeing and resilience.

The book My Ego is on Holiday encourages this kind of self-reflection. It makes a thoughtful gift for teachers, colleagues and school leaders who want to understand themselves better, gain fresh perspectives and find greater clarity in their professional and personal lives.
